Unable to solve the problem of Kumingga, the Warriors are at risk of losing two important free agents?

Basketball

ClutchPoints well-known reporter Brett Siegel wrote an article describing the offseason trends of many NBA teams, including the offseason plan of the Golden State Warriors. Siegel said: It is no secret for anyone in the league to reach an agreement between Al Horford and De 'Anthony Melton and the Warriors, which is a consensus that everyone has reached during the NBA Summer League. This makes sense considering that they have not officially signed so far and both veterans have received a lot of interest from other teams in the free market.

Siegel continued: The main reason why Horford, Melton or other players have not signed with the Warriors is Jonathan Kuminga's stay or stay. If the Warriors now offer multiple contracts to players including Horford and Melton, their total salary will be very close to the rich line, which basically deprives them of their ability to match other teams of potential offers for Kuminga. Therefore, if other teams' quotes reach a certain level, the Warriors are likely to lose Kuminga in vain, which is definitely not what the team wants to see.

In the NBA regular season last season, Horford made a total of 60 appearances in 82 games, averaging 27.7 minutes per game, averaging 9 points, 6.2 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.9 blocks. He also had 0.8 turnovers and 1.4 fouls. His shooting percentage was 42.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 36.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 89.5%. In the playoffs, Horford played 11 games in total, with averaging 31.6 minutes per game, with an average of 8 points, 6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals and 1.3 blocks, and 0.6 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 47.2%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 85.7%. In the NBA regular season last season, Melton played 6 times for the Warriors, averaging 20.2 minutes per game, averaging 10.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.2 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 1.7 turnovers and 3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 40.7%, three-point shooting percentage was 37.1%, and free throw shooting percentage was 62.5%.

Considering that both Melton and Horford are both players with basic salary joining, their importance to the Warriors is also very prominent. They will all become important rotation players in the Warriors lineup and play a decisive role on the court. The situation of Kumingga has obviously seriously affected the Warriors' lineup. Melton and Horford are both experienced players and they may not be willing to wait for a long time. Given that both Melton and Horford are able to get contracts from other teams, the Warriors may also have the possibility of losing both of them. In this case, in order to stabilize Melton and Horford, perhaps the Warriors should also find a way to act quickly?
